Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard 
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on 
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of 
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using 
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the 
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To 
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need 
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only 
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your 
document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay 
containing your logo or image.
1Create or open a document containing text or an image for 
use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as 
you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.
2To save the document as an overlay, access printer 
properties. See ?$paratext>? on page 7.
3Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay 
section.
